HIGH WORDS AT MONMOUTH,
HOT RLoop OVER THE BOURBON.
PEOPLE RUSH TO THE JUDGES STAND IN WILD
rycITEMENT,


mem. passions were far hotter after the selling race
h.n the yeiest at the course this year took
n,ace The Bourbons of France have caused vast
amount OF trouble In the world since the time OF the
great Henry the Fourth and the Bourbon OF KENTUCKY
has brought about countless number OF nshts 30
WAS highly appropriate that yesterdays contention
should have been set foot oy horse called The Bour
hon Upon all the boards the betting ring The Bour
hons name was pasted over and concealed from view
until few minutes before the start, indicating that nc
had been scratched" Nearly all the betting was made
on this showing Of the boards and therefore on the
express understanding that this horse would not take
part In the race But The Bourbons number and jockey
were hoisted TO public view between the posts py inc
timers and in the paddock and the horse won ne
race with Luna Brown second and Relax third iheh
the men who had bet Luna Brown to win ana heiah
for place with idea that The Bourpon "ouiu ''''
rushed wildly the judges stand ana oeciaroa has
their bets ought to be paid big crowo g&tnereo w"
the demands for redress loud and strong. Mr.
withers calm and uumoved as always amid tne wreck
NJ and the crash of worlds told tlem that neither
the ,udees nor the executive committee had anything
10 do with the and neither would take any acon
He said that The Bourbon had never been omclahy
declared nonstarter, that his number had been put
ND with the Others and that bets snouid De pad as
the Judges placed the horses In answer TO further
nrotests and appeals which became almost frantic In
their Intensity he asserted that under the English rules
of racing he could come to no other conclusion
The tumult grew wilder aud some of Mr. Withers's
listeners became violent In their language. The police
men OF the track Obliged to take vigorous measures
30 prevent serious disorder and few wild eyed and
loud-mouthed losers hustled about until they
became more peaceful. Mr. Galway who had been IN
the timers stand the to the scene Of dis
tnrbance A negro made some insulting remark ABOUT
the Judges. Mr. Galway filled with righteous wrath,
made dash for him. but tho fellow was slippery ana
cluded his grasp He was caught however, by q tracA
policeman and marched of in disgrace
After little reflection the far-mInded and honorable
men among the bookmakers saw that Mr.. Withers was
wrong and that 1t would never do to allow so serious
public dissatisfaction to go unsppeased Engish rules
about betting based on play or pay credit system
not on cash settlements the spot The rule In all
American pool rooms has always been that II horse'
whose name is not posted starter in the poolroon'
wins a race all who have bet ON the second horse win
their bets This is the only fair People do not bet
against unknown quantities and unexpected starters
Every man who made bet at Monmouth on the faith OF
the bookmakers posted assurance by their pubic hsts
that The Bourbon would not start was entitled TO his
money If he backed Luna Brown to win or Relax Tor
Mace Appleby & Johnson decided promptly to deal
fairly with the public and announced that they would
pay all Luna Brown tickets and Relax tickets for
place issued their stands while The Bourbons name
was not shown. A. NJ. Burton did the same thing and
later Cridge Il Co. and Sam Emery followed this ex-
ceentexampc This acting fairly and honorably but
many of the bookmakers refused TO take this manly and
proper course. A plain word TO them seems called FOR
Every bookmaker who deliberately decides 10 Keep the
Luna Brown and Relax money bet on the faith OF his
own showing that The Bourbon would not start Is
simply thief for he knows perfectly well that
he ia stealing property that does not belong to him.
And the public when 1t goes to the betting ring should
40 business only with honest and not with thieves
The breaking i-fortune with which the Fairfax
Stable had contend all through its career was shown
In the cearest possible light by the results OF the rs
and fifth races When Cyclops ran in the airfax
coors he failed every time. though James Rowe can
train horse with any man IN America and FITZPATRICK
rode Cyclops we'll Last Saturday Garrison bought
Cyclops for 600 and rode him yesterday SO general
was the confidence in Garrisons luck that Cycops was
made the favore the Jockeys account and not on
the colts. This faith we'll rewarded for Garrisons
patience and skill captured the race with splendid
rush In the last dozen strides. The Brighton Beach
division expected strIdeaway to win and put their
money on their IMPRESSION while Salisbury, Brat and
Bess found many supporters Mona friendless for
no expected Church to break his back In trying to
defeat the senior jockey of the Brown stable The start
was struggling and strideway and Milton got on so
badly that they never had the least chance Salisbury
got a running start well ~ front ana showed hucn
speed both CycOps and Bess passed him in the last
furlong Garrison rode with wonderful patience aud
timed Ills rush so we'll to win by head though Bess
showed all her speed at the finish Salisbury was third
After the Mr.. Caldwell explained Millions hopeless

flag fell being bent on running the START II he could
